So what can you give to a friend for 11-12 years, so that the birthday girl will be delighted, and the gift will not break a huge hole in the donor’s budget?

For a creative person

If a girl is always making something and is in search of a new image, then she will definitely like the following gifts:

. Most girls aged 12 want to diversify their appearance, and their choice often falls on hair coloring. Such crayons are safe, easy to wash off and are a bright addition to the image.

Sketchbook
. If your friend is a big fan of drawing and loves to practice anywhere at any time, then this gift is especially for her. There is a huge selection of unique sketch books to choose from, choose the one that suits your pocket! It is better to choose sketchbooks with thick, grainy sheets, because the pages do not scuff or wrinkle.

What to look for when choosing a gift

12 years is the age when friends become more important than parents. Every girl wants to give her friend something special so that it remains in her memory. Little things like this create strong friendships that last for years.

To avoid getting into trouble, prepare for the event in advance. A few recommendations for choosing a gift:

Listen to your friend. Girls often voice their desires out loud. Do one of them! You will not only please your friend, but you will also receive a charge of positive emotions;
Discuss the gift with your parents. Don’t think that they are behind the times or don’t understand anything about it. Often parents live in the interests of the child and vividly discuss all changes among themselves. They might come up with a great idea. Moreover, you will still have to ask them for money for a present;
Don't worry about the cost of the gift. Expensive is not always good. You can give expensive earrings that the birthday girl will never wear, because in her opinion they are old-fashioned. Or you can buy a budget diary that the hero of the day will not let go of. After all, it is so well suited for girlish secrets;
When choosing a gift, focus not on your preferences, but on the wishes of your friend. The common phrase “You'd love that” will serve as a guide;
If you have no ideas, ask the hero of the occasion directly. Even if a planned, but desired gift will cause a storm of emotions and gratitude;
Focus on your friend's hobbies or hobbies. This would be a great option;
Don't forget about creative packaging. As they say, girls love with their eyes. A successful presentation is half the success.

Gifts for athletes and activists

For your friend’s birthday, you can give a lot of gifts of this kind: starting with a T-shirt, shorts or sneakers – and ending with roller skates, skates or protective knee pads. Girls who are truly passionate about sports will certainly not refuse such a gift!

So, surprises for sporty girls:

a skateboard is a very convenient means of transportation that your active girl will love;
a special dance mat is ideal for a cheerful hero of the occasion who loves to dance. This accessory connects to the monitor; it perfectly develops a sense of rhythm, charging you with an excellent mood;
Comfortable wireless headphones are the best present for a girl. This surprise is especially relevant when running. By the way, if your friend goes swimming, give her a special waterproof player;

Comfortable wireless headphones

a compact, bright bag for training equipment , you can never have too many of them;
stylish jewelry in the form of sports equipment or with symbols of your favorite sport.

Attention But a friend who is not involved in sports should not be presented with various exercise machines and sports equipment for her birthday. She may simply be offended by such a gift, consider it a hint of an imperfect appearance, at this age girls are very vulnerable, be careful!

As you can see, choosing the right gift for a friend is not easy. The main thing here is to choose your future surprise thoughtfully and carefully! And be sure to complement even the most desired gift with delicate girlish flowers in pastel colors. Also, do not forget to beautifully package your surprise for the hero of the occasion and provide it with a touching inscription (poetry or prose).

Gifts up to 500 rubles

Gifts for a friend should not be measured in money. You can make an inexpensive present worth up to 500 rubles, but at the same time it will delight the hero of the occasion more than the most expensive things.
